Zero Trust

COVID-19 pushed DHS and GAO to drive identity management and zero trust to protect its IT infrastructure, as cybersecurity threats continue to increase.

The Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency released new TIC 3.0 remote user case guidance to help federal agencies secure their networks in a teleworking environment.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends security and IT professionals deploy a zero trust strategy and continuous monitoring to optimize cloud security, according to a new report.

The COVID-19 pandemic-induced telework prompted federal agencies to build off TIC 3.0 guidance and explore zero trust to maximize network security.

Unlocking the benefits of the cloud requires close monitoring of security priorities.

Deputy Federal CIO Maria Roat is looking for continuous long-term modernization of government agencies in a way that leverages data, security and Agile processes effectively, and cloud capabilities are helping agencies achieve that goal.

The heart of the zero trust approach to cybersecurity is proactive control over your data, according to Department of Homeland Security Deputy Chief Technology Officer Brian Campo.

Maintaining best cybersecurity practices while working remotely.

Securing data in a remote environment means constantly verifying and re-verifying users, and distrusting all connections on a network until they're verified.

Delivering data 'at the speed of need' requires more visibility and usability.

With phishing and the upcoming election, securing infrastructure remains a top necessity that initiatives like TIC 3.0 will advance.

Federal IT leads say the strategy lets agencies ‘use the tools we have’ to modernize security.
